Together Alone

Becoming a parent is often a stressful time. Fathers/Co-Parents often experience worries, pressures, and changes in relationships and quite a bit of sleep disturbances and changes in routine in the early weeks and months. Research tells us that between 1 and 3 Fathers/Co-Parents suffer from low mood, anxiety, and postnatal depression. This rises for partners who are supporting a partner with a perinatal mental illness or after a traumatic birth. With more offers of support and help out there for fathers and co-parents Devon perinatal Service wanted to raise awareness and reduce stigma for Fathers to reach out and talk about their own mental health.
